<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 323042, member: 6449&quot;]I didn&#039;t say they run all of it.&nbsp; Saying you run a business doesn&#039;t mean you run all businesses.&nbsp; Federal agencies have a unique role, particularly with regard to reviewing and funding health related research that could not be done as well, or at all by any private entity.&nbsp; Also, their role is not limited to setting priorities and funding.&nbsp; The National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, Food and Drug Administration, and Department of Defense&nbsp; all carry out research also and much of what they do could not or would not be done by private industry.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This discussion started as a comment about whether the government should be involved in regulating TPG&#039;s and I took the position that it shouldn&#039;t.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying that government does everything well but it does a lot of things well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re of the opinion that government can&#039;t do anything right, then my arguments are unlikely to persuade you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
